I purchased these units hoping to use them in my very small kitchen as an extension for my small pantry. NO WAY they could be used. They are very flimsy and would more than likely collapse with the weight I would have placed in them. These units are more for lighter items, like clothes, hats, scarves, gloves and the like. If used in the bathroom I can see them used for bar soaps, bags of cotton balls, QTIPS, towels, and other linen, anything that won't put a lot of heavy weight or strain on them collectively. Kitchen and living space too would have to have light items in them, I can't see them taking heavy items for any long duration without collapsing/breaking. I only took 1 out of carton and could feel right away they were flimsy and actually bendable to some extent and would be unable to hold what I needed them for in my kitchen. NOT STURDY, THICK OR HARD PLASTIC units IMHO (In My Humble Opinion).
